 It was a gloomy day so I decided to drive through the cemetery to see if I could come upon a triangular composition. After looking at many old and grand headstones and pondering life and death, I saw this. It twisted my heart to think of the pain of the parents who placed these items here for their son. It still hurts to think about it.

Poignant and depressing. Think I'll go hug my kid. :-(

Quite and odd subject pairing! Nice depth of field and textures.

The exposure and color are nice. I would like to see it cropped much tighter.

Very moving picture, difficult to make out these are headstones. I don't see triangle composition though, unless I really stretch, so I have to mark this down for not meeting the challenge.
